How can I tell if a sunstone is real?

Sunstone (Oligoclase) is a very lively stone. In its semi-precious quality, it has a light iridescent brown coloration with many bright reflections (they look like small diamonds) inside. In the center of the stone, you can see an even brighter spot - THE SUN. The short video at the bottom of this article shows you an example. You can also do a quick search on your favorite search engine (Google, Bing, DuckDuckgo, etc.) to see a series of examples of sunstone.

This is one of our rings that you can also see below in the video. You can clearly see the difference between synthetic and real. In the center of the stone, you can clearly see the bright part that gave the stone its name - THE SUN
